I have had 1 month of no episodes. I started Heather's diet mid-july, and for that month prior I was having 2-3 "D" episodes a week. I had some abdominal pain during the month, and worked that out. Honestly, I was flying high. I was meeting friends again, going shopping...not concentrating on "D" episodes.
Then last night we had friends over. I made dinner and as soon as I started eating I got that sweaty feeling that things were not right (I am sure you know what I mean). I excused myself and proceeded to the bathroom. I did not have "d"..but a 2 bouts in the bathroom with lots of little pieces (TMI).
Now, this is better than usual...before the diet I would have horrible cramping, this time no cramps..just didn't feel right. Before I could spend 2-4 hours around the bathroom...cramping and going, then cramping and going again, and again. This time once I went...I went 1x more...then actually rocked the baby and slept the night.
I did up my acacia the day before 1/4 tsp. I was good on 1 1/4 tsp. but thought that maybe 1/4 more would make me a bit less "C" at times. Could this be the culprit?
I did take 1 immodium preventitively...I didn't want to go all night...and was unsure I wouldn't.
Honestly, I just feel shaken. I guess I thought 1 month...I was homefree....I know that is silly. Just wanted to know if any of you have felt this way. I feel a bit anxious about this..and I can't stand that feeling (not typical for me).
Thanks for letting me rant.
